Double treat!
Hearing Zhantai Ling’er’s words, Ye Xuan froze in place!
What kind of move was this?
Was she trying to bribe him?
Testing him with this method?
Vulgar!
Utterly vulgar!
Ye Xuan said righteously, “Miss Ling’er, I’m not that kind of person! This behaviour is an insult to my character and integrity, do you understand?”
Zhantai Ling’er blinked. “Aren’t you quite the womaniser?”
Ye Xuan was furious. “Who said I’m a womaniser? Who said that!”
Zhantai Ling’er hesitated, then said, “I feel like you are!”
Ye Xuan’s expression stiffened.
Zhantai Ling’er smiled. “You really don’t want it?”
Before Ye Xuan could speak, one of the Divine Knowledge Civilization women suddenly said softly, “We can do anything…”
Anything!
Hearing that voice, Ye Xuan found it utterly captivating!
But he still shook his head firmly. “No, of course I don’t want it!”
Zhantai Ling’er thought for a moment, then glanced at the two women. “You can leave!”
The two women were visibly disappointed and turned to go!
They were disappointed because they had hoped to change their fates through Ye Xuan!
Right now, Ye Xuan was a hot commodity!
Zhantai Ling’er sized up Ye Xuan. “I never expected you to be such an upright and kind person!”
Ye Xuan glared at her. “No more of these flashy tricks, got it?”
Testing him with this?
If he weren’t an upright man, wouldn’t he have fallen for it?
Most people wouldn’t be able to resist this kind of tactic!
Having two beauties in his arms…
Truth be told, he was a bit curious!
Zhantai Ling’er suddenly asked, “What’s your next plan?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Do you know about the Desolate Battlefield?”
Zhantai Ling’er shook her head. “No!”
She didn’t know!
Clearly, this was beyond the Divine Knowledge Civilization’s sphere of influence!
Ye Xuan asked, “Haven’t you ever explored other civilizations outside the Divine Knowledge Civilization?”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled. “We have! But we only seek out universes with lower civilizations. Those that might have advanced civilizations, we absolutely avoid exploring. Because exploring advanced civilizations could very likely lead to our own destruction!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Fair point!”
A lower civilization encountering a higher one would indeed be a disaster!
Zhantai Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan. “You’re going to the Desolate Battlefield?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Zhantai Ling’er smiled. “Is our Divine Knowledge Civilization now part of the Academy?”
Ye Xuan said, “That depends on you!”
Zhantai Ling’er laughed. “Of course we’re willing to join the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Then from now on, your Divine Knowledge Civilization is part of our Guanxuan Academy!”
Submission!
In fact, her visit this time was to submit.
The Divine Knowledge Civilization had finally decided to submit, because without doing so, they wouldn’t gain the core benefits of the Guanxuan Academy!
These benefits included not only protection but also the chance to obtain the folding cultivation technique from Ye Xuan!
That was crucial!
It was a cultivation method that could elevate their civilization’s level!
Ye Xuan naturally understood their true intentions and smiled. “That cultivation technique can be given to your Divine Knowledge Civilization, but in twenty years! In twenty years, I’ll place this technique in the Guanxuan Academy. Those who have merit or are outstanding can learn it, and your Divine Knowledge Civilization… in twenty years, you can have one copy!”
Hearing this, Zhantai Ling’er quickly said, “Good, we’re willing to wait twenty years!”
Twenty years!
It was, without a doubt, a huge surprise!
Twenty years was nothing to them!
A blink of an eye!
Ye Xuan’s reason for delaying twenty years was naturally for himself. He believed that in twenty years, this technique would no longer be as valuable to him!
So, sharing it with others then wouldn’t matter!
Moments later, Zhantai Ling’er returned to the Divine Knowledge Civilization.
All the powerhouses of the Divine Knowledge Civilization gathered together!
Everyone looked at Zhantai Ling’er!
Her expression was grave.
Seeing her look, the faces of the Divine Knowledge Civilization powerhouses also grew serious.
Mu Xuanzun hurriedly asked, “What, he didn’t agree?”
Zhantai Ling’er sighed softly. “At first, he didn’t agree, but in the end, I pleaded with him for a full three hours and agreed to some conditions…”
She glanced at everyone. “Only then did he agree!”
Hearing this, the Divine Knowledge Civilization powerhouses were overjoyed!
He agreed!
Mu Xuanzun then asked, “You mentioned agreeing to conditions… what conditions?”
Zhantai Ling’er glanced at everyone and smiled. “Not much, just the relationship between him and me… you know what I mean, right?”
Hearing this, the Divine Knowledge Civilization powerhouses exchanged glances!
Relationship!
What else could it be?
It had to be *that* kind of relationship!
As a result, Zhantai Ling’er’s status in the Divine Knowledge Civilization soared even higher!
Her position now surpassed even the three great Mysterious Venerables!
The influence of the Divine Knowledge Civilization in the Guanxuan Academy would depend on Zhantai Ling’er!
It could be said that Zhantai Ling’er was already set to be the next Mysterious Venerable of the Divine Knowledge Civilization!
…
Ye Xuan decided to set off for the Desolate Battlefield to find Qingqiu!
Now, Fate Mysterious Realm powerhouses were no match for him at all!
With the Qingxuan Sword, he arrived at the Desolate Battlefield in an instant.
In a certain starry sky, Ye Xuan slowly emerged. This was a lifeless star region, with dim starlight and an oppressive atmosphere.
No trace of life!
Ye Xuan glanced around. He had to admit, many star regions in the universe were devoid of life!
Sweeping his gaze around, he vanished from the spot. In a blink, he crossed hundreds of star regions and soon found a planet with life.
Ye Xuan entered the planet. As soon as he did, an aura appeared before him, followed by an old man.
The old man looked at Ye Xuan. “Who are you!”
Ye Xuan sized up the old man and said, “Ye Xuan!”
The old man frowned slightly. “Never heard of you! You’re from outside!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. “What’s your purpose here!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “And you are?”
The old man said, “I am the guardian of this place!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and glanced around. “What is this place?”
The old man looked at Ye Xuan, then said, “Wuji Continent!”
Wuji Continent!
Ye Xuan scanned the area and realized the martial civilization here was too low!
The old man’s strength was also very low, not just compared to the Divine Knowledge Civilization but even to human civilizations by a wide margin!
He considered leaving, but then thought, why not establish an academy here and benefit the place?
Moreover, in this place, he was practically a god-like existence!
Invincible!
Absolutely invincible!
At this thought, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth curved upward.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s sleazy smile, the old man’s brows furrowed. “You… who are you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man and smiled. “I’m here to teach!”
The old man was stunned.
At that moment, Ye Xuan turned, pointed a finger, and a beam of sword light shot out, instantly tearing the sky in two!
The old man was dumbfounded.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Where’s the most bustling and lively place?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “Tianyi City! It’s crowded and the most prosperous!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Point the way!”
The old man pointed to the right. Ye Xuan laughed, rose on his sword, drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and vanished at the horizon’s end in a blink.
The old man stood there, utterly bewildered.
…
Moments later, Ye Xuan arrived at Tianyi City.
It had to be said, Tianyi City was indeed very prosperous, housing at least a hundred million people.
Ye Xuan dressed himself up. This time, he didn’t carry a sword but held a book, wearing a clean scholar’s robe, looking every bit the learned man!
After entering the city, the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
Ye Xuan wandered the streets with interest, occasionally buying things.
He wasn’t just strolling; he was looking for a prime location to establish an academy.
After touring the city, he chose a place by a mountain and a river.
This spot was perfect, with mountains and water. At the foot of the mountain was a grand, luxurious estate, sprawling over hundreds of miles. In front of it was a lake, a thousand miles long and wide, with an expansive view.
This was the place!
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, walked to the estate’s gate, and knocked.
He decided to buy this place!
He didn’t even consider whether the owner would sell, because he had plenty of money!
Soon, the door opened, and a beautiful woman appeared. She looked at Ye Xuan. “Who are you?”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Greetings, miss. I’m Ye Xuan!”
The woman sized up Ye Xuan, noting his good looks, and smiled. “What brings you here, sir?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss, I’d like to meet the owner of this place. Please pass on the message!”
Hearing this, the woman was stunned, then said, “Meet the owner?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The woman’s expression turned odd. “Sir… do you know what this place is?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I don’t! But this place is so grand and impressive, it must belong to no ordinary person!”
The woman smiled. “Sir, this is the Shangguan family’s villa, the residence of the Shangguan family’s eldest young lady!”
Shangguan family!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The woman smiled. “Haven’t heard of it?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The woman laughed. “I thought you were here to court the young lady! So that’s not it. This is interesting!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “So, I can’t actually meet this Shangguan young lady, right?”
The woman nodded. “Normally, yes! Unless you’re someone extraordinary, with great fame!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. He handed it to the woman. “Please pass this sword to the Shangguan young lady!”
The woman glanced at the Qingxuan Sword but didn’t speak.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, opened his palm, and a hundred Divine Knowledge Crystals appeared before her.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Sorry to trouble you, miss!”
Seeing the hundred Divine Knowledge Crystals, the woman froze. “This… sir, you’re putting me in a difficult spot!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why is it difficult?”
The woman sighed softly, her expression complex. “I’ve always despised such bribery. Normally, if you did this, I’d scold you and throw you out. But now… sir, you’ve offered so much! I… I’m really torn!”
